DEADPOOL
Deadpool was formerly a government special operative who had contracted terminal cancer. He volunteered for the clandestine Weapon X program, where he was mutagenically altered. This process was supposed to grant him a superhuman regenerative healing factor allegedly based on the DNA of the mutant Wolverine, stopping the progression of his cancer and greatly enhancing his physique. However, the cancer interacted with the mutagenic process in unanticipated ways; the process (initially) failed, disfigured him horribly and made him mentally unstable.
Deadpool was quickly washed out of Weapon X and was sent to the "Workshop", a place for failed experiments, where he was tortured and experimented upon. In the Workshop, a game was played called "the Dead Pool", where inmates betted who of them would die next. As Deadpool was chosen as a special project by doctor Killebrew, his odds of dying were very low, making him the leader of the Dead Pool with thousand-to-one odds. Deadpool started to see Death and fell in love with her. He decided to break the Dead Pool by doing anything to get himself killed so he could be with Death. His rebellious behaviour inspired the other inmates of the Workshop. He was seen as a threat to the order in the Workshop and Killebrew ordered his death, but it was his execution that finally activated Deadpool's healing factor. Now unable to be with Death at all, Deadpool finally went completely insane. He escaped with many other Weapon X washouts and took the name "Deadpool" for himself. After bumming around, he eventually found his calling as a mercenary. Typically, he worked for villains such as the mysterious Mr. Tolliver. This initially made him an adversary of Cable, Wolverine and the New Mutants (later X-Force).
Eventually, Deadpool became less of a villain and more of a reluctant hero, though the element of his moral ambiguity always remained. It was later revealed that he had friends, such as Weasel and Blind Al, that he was loyal to and cared about (due to his insanity, he would mistreat them as well at times though). As the character became more developed it became obvious that although he carefully projected the guise of an invincible, merciless, gun-for-hire, he was actually an insecure and severely scarred man, emotionally and physically, who used his sardonic wit to cope with reality and deal with relationships.
God knows how he's gonna deal with this reality!
